The White House Correspondents' Dinner Bomb

I saw Jon Stewart's postmortem/critique/comedy-tutorial last night.

Jon showed segments of donnie's speech and explained how a professional would have handled the bit.

Or would have refused to do it. 

And why.

What I saw trump doing in those video segments was much worse than a bomb. 

It was as if the lieutenant in Good Morning Vietnam had showed up for his fifteen minutes of on-air fame in a big, fat, mean, moron suit.

And then delivered a big, fat, mean, moron speech.

That's my assessment.

Copilot had a different take: "He performed incompetence with hostility."
